Cannaya is an experimental/industrial/dark ambient project formed in Germany in 2009 by Stefan Pedraz and Ralf Gatzen (aka [basementgrrr]). Cannaya was born out of their mutual respect and love for Cevin Key´s Download project and the process of experimenting with sound by breaking their personal boundaries through the use of different synths, modulars and audio devices.

Their debut album "Klangwerk", released on FORMAT NOISE, marked the beginning of an exciting sound experiment. "Dreams of an Urban Desert", released on Raumklang in January 2015, is a step further into the experiment. Fusing different music styles from dark ambient to 90s techno and vocals, "Dreams of an Urban Desert" is more focused and song-orientated, paving the way for live stage appearances in 2015.
